Many of the episodes of this wretched season had been about cowering and bullying kids into behaving, but Drawn and Quartered changes the formula somewhat by not having the protagonist being sent to the Cryptkeeper’s correction camp.
Instead, Ralph Philips is bullied for being an artist, but an old but magical mechanical pencil allows his drawing to come to life and terrorize the bullies into behaving instead.
Don’t expect any “scary” moments here, though. Ralph isn’t even vindictive, as the bullies instead bring the trouble onto themselves. Since the bulk of this episode is about Ralph being bullied and Ralph just doing mundane things, there is no cathartic payoff to Ralph getting that pencil. He doesn’t do anything to earn his revenge, instead it’s just handed to him.
So, in the end, this is a nothing episode about nothing. It’s really boring, but that’s the only thing noteworthy about it, yikes.
There are other more grown-up, scary shows with the same premise of an artist whose art can kill, so go watch those instead.
